WASHINGTON (AP) — White House director of legislative affairs Marc Short has told staff that he'll be leaving the position this summer.

Two White House officials said Short disclosed his plans Friday. He did not offer an exact date, but said he would go sometime this summer. The officials were not authorized to speak publicly and demanded anonymity.

The latest in a number of high-profile exits, Short has led Trump's legislative agenda, including the passage of the tax cut bill in late 2017, but also unsuccessful efforts on health care and immigration.

Short was named to the position before Trump took office in 2017. During the 2016 campaign, he served as communications director for Vice President Mike Pence.
